Statements

On election campaign activities

We recognize the constitutional mandate of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in enforcing and administering all laws and regulations relative to the conduct of elections.


On latest COMELEC decision

The latest decision of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to no longer hold Vice Presidential and Presidential Town Hall Debates is unfortunate.



On Ka Leody’s remarks on ICC

We reiterate our position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has no jurisdiction to probe our campaign against illegal drugs. The ICC is the court of last resort utilized when a State Party is unwilling to investigate and prosecute those who violate laws.


On the Bukidnon incident

Violence has no place in any civilized society and we condemn the incident in Bukidnon where gunshots were allegedly fired against the camp of Ka Leody de Guzman.





On Tropical Storm Agaton

The Executive is closely monitoring the track of Tropical Storm Agaton as government’s hands are on deck to assist affected residents. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is coordinating with the disaster councils of affected areas to support relief activities.


On additional areas under Alert Level 1

The Inter-Agency Task Force on Friday, April 8, 2022, placed Mountain Province in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Southern Leyte in Region VIII, and Misamis Oriental in Region X under Alert Level 1.
